Tips to get the best Southport rental experience:

Sticking to your spending plan:

• Booking your Southport vacation home in the Fall or Spring is a good way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guides that include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Choose vacation dates and max budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Makin' Memories! New Owner, New Name, New Management has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property manager before you reserve the home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine which bed configuration is optimal for your trip.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• Some properties allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the owner about pet restrictions before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To make certain no damages are linked to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas when you arrive. Make contact with the rental manager right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks ruin your family vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all belongings. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a great vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
